LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 


Hon.  J.  J.  Crawford,  State  Mineralogist: 

I  have  the  honor  to  submit  this  bibliography  for  publication 
by  the  State  Mining  Bureau,  with  the  following  brief  remarks: 

The  literature  relating  to  the  natural  resources  of  California 
is  widely  scattered,  and,  to  a  great  extent,  inaccessible  to  any 
one  but  the  specialist. 

The  few  descriptions  of  fossils  printed  in  the  State  Geological 
Reports  were  issued  nearly  thirty  years  ago.  Since  that  date  a 
large  number  of  papers  on  geology,  palaeontology,  and  descrip- 
tions of  local  mining  regions  have  appeared,  either  in  the  trans- 
actions of  learned  societies  or  in  special  publications  with  but  a 
limited  distribution.  In  many  cases  these  descriptions  have 
been  brief,  and  those  of  fossils  without  illustrations. 

Besides  these,  there  are  many  articles  incorporated  in  the 
official  publications  of  the  United  States,  and  in  volumes  whose 
very  existence  is  almost  unknown  to  the  general  reader. 

I  have  labored  to  bring  this  mass  of  literature  together  and 
make  it  accessible  to  the  student  and  general  reader.  Some 
may  ask,  What  is  the  advantage  of  such  a  catalogue?  But  let 
them  take  up  any  special  line  of  investigation,  and  the  first 
thing  wanted  will  be  a  list  of  books  of  reference  to  know  what 
has  been  published  on  the  subject. 

To  the  compiler  such  compilations  are  dry  and  laborious,  and 
many  think  afterward  I  could  do  better;  but  let  all  those  who 
think  so,  labor  to  improve  this  catalogue. 

The  palaeontologist  has  to  deal  with  the  different  species  under 
each  genus.  I  have,  therefore,  included  a  full  list  of  fossils 
under  each  reference,  which  will  save  the  student  many  a  weary 


viii  Letter  of  Transmittal. 

hour  of  laborious  research  through  many  volumes  and  trans- 
actions of  learned  societies. 

The  catalogue  has  been  arranged  under  different  heads,  such 
as  State  geological  reports,  transactions  of  learned  societies, 
etc.,  which  will  give  the  student  a  direct  reference  to  the  con- 
tents of  different  publications. 

The  palaeontology  of  California  differs  greatly  from  that  of 
the  Atlantic  States  in  the  existence  of  an  extensive  bed  of  the 
Tertiary  formation,  with  but  few  of  the  older  formations,  indi- 
cating that  the  elevation  of  the  Paciffc  Coast  was  chiefly  made 
since  the  Mesozoic  age,  and  a  great  part  of  it  as  late  as  the 
Quaternary.  Nearly  all  the  coast  ranges  and  the  low  foothills 
of  the  Sierra  Nevada  are  covered  with  thick  beds  which  contain 
fossils  identical  with  living  species,  with  others  extinct  along 
the  Californian  shores,  but  living  farther  to  the  north  or  south. 

To  make  a  complete  catalogue,  works  on  recent  conchology  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  should  be  included,  but  the  author  has  deemed 
it  best  to  omit  the  most  of  them. 

Part  IV  of  the  catalogue  contains  an  alphabetical  list  of 
miscellaneous  publications.  Many  of  them  are  references  to 
early  reports  on  gold  and  other  minerals,  including  trips  to  the 
gold  fields  of  California.  All  of  these  are  not  strictly  geolog- 
ical reports,  but  now  and  then  they  contain  valuable  references 
to  local  geology.  The  author  regrets  that  he  has  been  unable 
to  give  many  notes  in  this  part,  most  of  the  works  being  inac- 
cessible.

The  author  discusses  the  age  of  the  formation  afterward  called  by 
the  California  geologists  the  Chico  group.  Newberry  admits  the  Ter- 
tiary character  of  a  part  of  the  fossils,  but  is  inclined  to  refer  the 
formation  to  the  Cretaceous,  because  of  the  presence  in  it  of  Ammo- 
nites, etc.

Report  on  the  Palaeontology  of  the  survey;  by  T.  A.  Con- 
rad.    Chapter  XXIX,  pp.  189-196,  with  10  plates. 

The  author  remarks  that  the  Miocene  of  Santa  Barbara  contains  a 
group  of  shells  more  analogous  to  the  fossils  of  the  Atlantic  slope 
than  to  the  existing  shells  of  California ;  but  it  is  evident  that  there 
must  be  subdivisions  in  the  Tertiary  deposits  of  California,  which 
range  between  the  Eocene  and  Pliocene  periods,  for  the  group  of  the 
Estrella  Valley  and  Santa  Ynez  (Barbara)  Mountains  does  not  appear 
to  contain  one  species,  even,  analogous  to  any  in  the  Santa  Barbara 
beds,  and,  on  the  contrary,  some  of  them  remind  us  of  the  existing

Vol.  1,  1865— Vol.  7,  1871. 

Observations  on  certain  Eocene  fossils  described  as  Cretaceous 
by  Mr.  W.  M.  Gabb  in  his  report  published  in  the  Palaeon- 
tology of  California;  by  T.  A.  Conrad.  Am.  Jour.  Conch., 
Vol.  1,  1865,  pp.  362-365. 

The  author  remarks  that  Mr.  Gabb  makes  two  divisions  of  his  Cre- 
taceous strata,  A  and  B.  The  former  is,  doubtless,  Cretaceous  ;  and 
the  latter,  I  am  sure,  will  prove  to  be  older  Eocene.  Fusus  Califor- 
nicus,  Gabb,  the  author  does  not  recognize  as  "  my  ?  Clavatula  Cali- 
fornica."  Volutilithes  Navarroensis  belongs  to  "my  genus  RosteUites.^' 
Fusus  Remondi  is  a  species  of  Perissolaz  allied  to  P.  penita.  Amaurop- 
sis  alveata  is  a  species  of  Globularia.  Fiscus  mamillatus  is  probably 
Sycotypus  modeshis,  Conrad.  Perissolax  is  a  genus  nearly  related  to 
Sycotypus.  Chemnitzia  Spillmani  is  very  distinct  from  any  species  I 
described  under  that  name.  Aturia  Matheivsoni  is  Atuira  zic-zac. 
Dosinia  elevata  is  Dosineopsis  alta.  D.  Uvasana  is  Dione  ovata,  Rogers. 
Meekia  sella  is  probably  Cyprina  hisecta.  M.  navis  is  a  species  of  Yoldia. 
Mactra  Asburneri  is  propbably  M.  albaria,  Conrad.  Nucula  truncata — 
two  species  are  evidently  confounded  under  this  name.  Leda  pro- 
texta  f— there  are  two  species  here  united,  neither  of  which  is  the 
protexta— one  Eocene,  the  other  Cretaceous. 

A  reply  to  these  criticisms  of  Mr.  Conrad  is  given  by  Mr.  W.  M. 
Gabb  in  the  second  volume,  pp.  87-92. 

Reply  to  Mr.  Conrad's  criticism  on  Mr.  Gabb's  report  on  the 
Palaeontology  of  California;  byW.  M.  Gabb.  Am.  .Jour. 
Conch.,  Vol.  2,  1866,  pp.  87-92. 

Further  observations  on  Mr.  Gabb's  Palaeontology  of  California; 
by  T.  A.  Conrad.  Am.  Jour.  Conch.,  Vol.  2,  1866,  pp. 
97-100. 

The  author  remarks  that  Volutilithes  Navarroensis  has  the  external 
sculpture  and  form  of  a  species  of  Rostellites  found  in  New  Jersey. 
Perissolax,  Gabb,  is  limited  to  one  species,  but  it  is  very  different 
from  Busy  con  Blakei,  Conrad.  Hemifusus  Ilorni,  11.  Cooper  i,  and  //. 
Rimondi,  Gabb,  and  Fusus  mamillatus,  Gabb,  are  members  of  my 
proposed  genus  Ficopsis.  Amauropsis  alveata,  Gabb,  is  a  member  of 
Lamarck's  genus  Ampullina.  Venericardia  Jlorni,  Gabb,  is  a  very 
different  variety  from  the  V.  planicosta.  Hamites  Vancouverensis  I 
believe  to  be  an  Ancyloceras.  Ptycoceras  aiqincostatus  is  more  likely 
to  be  Hamites.  Neptunea  curvirostris  I  believe  to  represent  an  unde- 
scribed  genus. 

The  controversy  which,  for  a  long  time,  was  maintained  between 
Conrad  and  Gabb  as  to  the  age  of  the  Tejon  rocks  of  California,

the  evidence  of  such  a  change  of  opinion  in  any  of  that  author's

California,  elevation  of,  during  the  Tertiary  epoch;  by  T.  A. 
Conrad.     Am.  Jour.  Sci.,  1st  ser.,  Vol.  35,  1839,  p.  245. 

In  the  author's  article,  "Notes  on  American  Geology,"  in  this  jour- 
nal, the  author  remarks:  "On  the  coast  of  California  Mr.  Nuttall 
found  shells  of  recent  species  two  hundred  feet  above  the  sea.  These 
are  so  much  more  remote  from  the  axis  of  elevation  than  the  Ter- 
tiary shell  of  New  York  that  the  uplift  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  must 
have  been  far  greater  during  the  upper  Tertiary  period  than  was  any 
part  of  the  Atlantic  chain." 

Fossil  shells  from  the  Tertiary  deposits  on  the  Columbia  River, 
near  Astoria;  by  T.  A.  Conrad.  Am.  Jour.  Sci.,  2d  ser., 
Vol.  5,  1848,  pp.  432-433.     14  woodcuts. 

The  author  describes  and  figures  the  following  fossils,  principally 
-  from  cement-stone  bowlders  at  Astoria,  Oregon  :  Nxicula  devaricata, 
n.sp.;  N.cuneiformis,  n.sp.;  N.  abrupta,  n.sip.;  Mactraalbaria,  n.sp.',  Tel- 
Una  Oregonensis,  n.sp.;  T.  obruta,  n.sp.',  Loripes  parilis,  n.sp.;  Cytherea 
Oregonensis,  n.sp.;  C.  vespertina,  n.sp.;  Nucula  penitn,  n.sp.;  Bullina 
petrosa,  n.sp.;  Pyrula  modesta,  n.sp.;  Fusus  Oregonensis,  n.sp.;  Solen 
curtus,  n.sp. 

The  following  species  were  collected  by  the  writer  at  Astoria,  and 
sent  to  the  American  Museum  at  New  York.  As  the  list  is  unpub- 
lished, it  may  be  well  to  include  it  as  a  note  to  Mr.  Conrad's  paper: 
Nucula  devaricata,  Con.;  N.  impressa,  Con.;  Tellina  albaria.  Con.;  So- 
lemya  ventricosa,  Con.;  Pecten  propatulus,  Con.;  Area  devincta,  Con.; 
Venus bisecta,  Con.;  Pectunculus nitens, Con.;  Venus  angustifrons,  Con.; 
Tellina  emacerata,  Con.;  T.  arctata.  Con.;  Lucina  aculitmeata,  Con.; 
Cardita  sublenta,  Con.;  Terebratula  nitens,  Con.;  Dolium  jyetrosium, 
Con.;  Eostellaria  indurata,  Con.;  Fusus  geniculus;  Sigeretus(Lumatia) 
scopulosa;  Teredo  substriatus;  A  dentalium;  Naulitus  angulatus, 
Con.  Besides  these  there  are  three  or  four  species  of  bivalves  and 
^  four  of  Gasteropods,  undetermined,  and  one  Brachipod.  These 
fossils  were  collected  from  the  cement  stones  and  argillaceous  shales ; 
all  belong  to  one  geological  period,  as  the  same  species  are  found  in 
each  to  some  extent,  though  most  are  different.

The  Shasta-Chico  series;  by  J.  S.  Diller  and  T.  W.  Stanton. 
Bull.  Geol.  Sci.  of  America,  Vol.  o,  pp.  435-464.  April 
12,  1894. 

The  authors  give  the  following  conclusions :  That  the  discovery  of 
Coralliochama  Orcutti,  in  the  basal  portion  of  the  Chico  beds,  in  the 
Sacramento  Valley,  demonstrates  that  the  Wallala  beds  are  only  a 
phase  of  the  Chico.  The  Shasta-Chico  series  is  composed  of  the 
Knoxville,  Horsetown,  and  Chico  beds,  which  are  each  characterized 
by  its  own  fauna.  The  fauna  of  adjacent  beds,  however,  are  so  bound 
together  by  many  common  species  that  there  is  no  palaeontologic 
break.  The  Mariposa  and  Knoxville  beds  are  faunally  distinct  and 
unconformable;  the  former  Jurassic,  and  the  latter  Cretaceous.

On  page  187  the  author  states  that  although  California  is  not  classed 
as  a  lead-  and  zinc-producing  State,  it  contains  extensive  deposits  of 
lead-producing  ores.  These  occur  principally  in  Inyo  and  San  Ber- 
nardino Counties,  in  the  southwestern  portion  of  the  State,  He  gives 
the  localities  of  the  lead  deposits  of  San  Bernardino  County,  near 
Kingston  Mountain,  in  dolomitic  limestone  ;  near  Denby,  in  the  Old 
Woman  Mountains.  He  mentions  a  large  and  extensive  ledge  of

In  the  volume  on  the  zoology  of  Captain  Beechey 's  voyage  (Lon- 
don, 1839,  4to),  by  Prof.  Buckland,  there  are  several  references  to  the 
geology  of  the  vicinity  of  San  Francisco,  prepared  from  the  notes 
and  collections  of  Lieutenant  Belcher. 

A  map  of  the  headland,  embracing  San  Francisco  Bay,  accom- 
panies this  report.  This  is  colored  around  the  shores  so  as  to  indi- 
cate the  several  formations;  serpentine,  sandstone,  and  jasper  rock 
are  represented.  Lieutenant  BelchSr  collected  specimens  of  serpen- 
tine on  the  west  side  of  Angel  Island.  The  occurrence  of  jasper  rock 
is  also  noted. 

The  author,  on  page  174,  gives  the  following  account  of  the  geology 
of  California,  which  was  the  first  ever  published  ;  it  is  given  in  full, 
on  account  of  its  value  : 

GEOLOGY,   BAY   OF   SAN   FRANCISCO. 

"The  specimens  collected  in  and  near  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco 
consist  of  many  varieties  of  common  serpentine,  bronzite,  and  asbes- 
tos ;  clay-slate  and  mica  slate,  chlorite  slate,  horn-stone,  brown,  green, 
and  red  jasper,  and  rolled  blocks  of  glassy  actynolite ;  grey  sandstone, 
and  imperfect  wood-coal.  The  country  near  the  port  of  San  Fran- 
cisco is  composed  chiefly  of  sandstone,  jasper,  and  serpentine.  Wood- 
coal  is  found  in  slight  seams  on  the  north  side  of  the  entrance  of  the 
bay,  and  native  salt  near  Santa  Clara.  Many  of  the  summits  of  the 
hills  are  composed  of  jasper,  forming  enlongated  ridges,  of  which 
.  the  general  direction  is  north  and  south.  This  jasper  is  succeeded  by 
sandstone,  of  a  loose  texture,  not  effervescing  with  acids,  and  dis- 
posed in  every  angle  of  stratification,  occasionally  it  is  hard  and  of 
a  blue  cast ;  it  is  frequently  interrupted  by  abrupt  masses  of  lami- 
nated jasper  in  wavy  stratification.  The  appearance  of  the  jasper, 
at  its  contact  with  the  sandstone,  is  often  very  remarkable.  The 
jasper  appears  not  to  have  acted  on  or  displaced  the  sandstone ;  its 
exterior,  for  eighteen  inches  or  two  feet,  is  usually  rugged,  and  mixed 
with  carbonate  of  lime,  quartz,  and  indurated  clay ;  its  interior, 
however,  presents  a  very  beautiful  wavy  disposition  of  the  component 
laminae,  a  remarkable  example  of  which  occurs  at  the  Meec^lle  Rock, 
nearly  opposite  the  fort.  A  view  of  it  is  engraved  at  PI.  Ill,  Geology. 
It  resembles  an  immense  mass  of  sheets  of  paper,  or  bands  of  list, 
crumpled  and  contorted  by  lateral  pressure.  This  contortion  only 
occurs  in  the  red  jasper,  the  yellow  being  seldom  (if  at  all)  stratified, 
but  generally  separated  by  cracks  into  rhomboidal  pieces.  A  mass 
of  at  least  one  hundred  feet  in  thickness  is  beautifully  stratified  in 
short,  wavy  lines,  opposite  the  fort  near  Punta  Diavolo,  and  rests  on 
sandstone. 

"Between  Punta  Boneta  and  Punta  Diavolo  the  sandstone  is  of  a 
bluish-grey  colour,  containing  particles  of  coal. 

"The  Island  of  Los  Angelos  is  of  very  confused  formation.  Its 
eastern  side  is  sandstone,  with  occasional  jasper  rocks;  its  western 
side  exhibits  sandstone,  conglomerate,  clay-slate,  and  serpentine ;  its 
south  side,  bluish  earth,  (apparently  decomposed  serpentine),  and 
jasper  beds  containing  red  siliceous  nodules,  and  much  iron  pyrites. 


Miscellaneous  Publications.  86 


The  superstratum  of  this  island  is  almost  entirely  composed  of  the 
debris  of  sandstone  and  jasper  rocks,  a  little  slate  and  bluish  earth, 
and  betrays  appearances  of  violence.  It  is  about  900  feet  above  the 
level  of  the  sea,— B. 

"The  cliffs  of  the  main  land,  opposite  the  northwest  shore  of  the 
Island  of  Los  Angelos  afford  masses  of  actynolite  and  beds  of  mica 
slate  and  talc  slate. 

"The  Island  of  Molate,  about  four  miles  north  of  Los  Angelos, 
appears  at  a  distance  to  be  of  a  red  colour,  and  contains  much  red 
jasper,  and  in  a  small  portion  of  the  cliff  black  ferruginous  slate.— C. 

"In  the  Island  of  Yerba  Buena,  the  perpendicular  cliffs  west  of  the 
bay  are  formed  of  clay-slate  at  their  base,  whilst  the  superincumbent 
rock  is  sandstone,  for  the  most  part  in  angular  masses,  and  without 
distinct  stratification.  The  clay-slate  is  much  contorted,  arched,  and 
wavj'-,  assuming  an  east  and  west  direction,  and  dipping  chiefly  to 
the  south  at  a  considerable  angle.  The  sandstone  shows  itself  in  the 
point  that  forms  the' eastern  part  of  the  bay. 

"The  rounded  hills  of  the  peninsula  on  which  the  Presidio  of  San 
Francisco  is  placed,  are  variously  formed  of  sandstone,  loose  sand, 
serpentine,  flinty  slate,  and  jasper.  The  westernmost  hill,  which 
rises  from  the  sea  between  the  fort  and  the  Punta  di  los  Lobos,  is 
serpentine.  The  north  declivity,  on  which  the  quadrangle  of  the 
Presidio  is  built,  is  sandstone.  To  the  eastward  of  this  the  serpen- 
tine again  forms  a  hill  of  equal  if  not  greater  height.  The  hill  to  the 
westward  of  the  Mission  is  serpentine.  That  which  rises  to  the  south 
of  it  exposes  a  bare  and  scarped  brow  of  flinty  slate  and  jasper. 
Rocks  of  a  similar  nature  protrude  through  the  surface  of  the  soil  of 
the  hills  which  separate  San  Francisco  from  the  extensive  valley  of 
Santa  Clara  (Las  Salinas),  about  six  leagues  to  the  southward.  These 
hills  are  called  Sierras  di  los  Samburnos,  and  terminate  on  the  north 
in  a  rocky  prominence,  in  the  harbour  east  of  the  inlet  of  the  Mission. 

"The  range  of  mountains,  Las  Sierras  del  Sur,  which  bound  the 
above  valley  to  the  south,  expose  flinty  slate  approaching  to  jasper,  a 
little  northwest  of  Las  Pulgas,  and  about  eighteen  miles  east-south- 
east of  the  Mission  of  San  Francisco.  Between  the  Missions  of  Santa 
Clara  and  Santa  Cruz,  these  mountains  form  four  parallel  ranges,  the 
two  middle  ones  highest  (about  1,500  feet),  with  steep  declivities ;  the 
first  two  valleys  are  narrow ;  the  third  is  more  extensive,  leading  to  the 
fourth  range,  which  is  considerably  lower  than  the  others.  The  first 
two  ridges  are  composed  of  serpentine  and  a  jaspery  rock,  the  third 
principally  of  sandstone  and  occasionally  jasper,  and  the  fourth,  that 
nearest  Santa  Cruz,  entirely  of  sandstone,  the  upper  part  being 
mostly  decomposed  into  loose  sand.  Petrified  bones  of  a  cylindrical 
form  were  found  in  this  cliff  of  sand  or  loose  sandstone  in  1827. 

"Where  this  range  approaches  the  road  from  Santa  Clara  to  San 
Juan,  nearly  half-way,  the  northern  declivity  is  covered  with  frag- 
ments of  serpentine,  and  a  little  farther  on  is  sandstone  and  flinty 
slate. 

"In  the  neighbourhood  of  the  Mission  of  San  Juan  is  a  sandstone 
conglomerate,  and  on  the  road  crossing  from  San  Juan  to  the  plain 
of  Monterey,  is  sandstone.  From  the  interior  of  the  range  between 
San  Juan  and  Monterey,  the  inhabitants  of  Las  Animas  had  brought 
compact  basalt,  containing  particles  of  magnetic  iron  ore,  which 


86         A  Bibliography  of  the  Geology,  etc.,  of  California. 


encouraged  the  delusive  hope  of  rich  mines.  A  few  miles  down  the 
river  Paxaros,  from  where  the  road  to  San  Juan  crosses  it,  there  are 
thermal  springs,  and  sulphur  in  their  neighbourhood.  On  the  Santa 
Cruz  side,  near  the  Mission,  there  is  said  to  be  coal,  but  it  has  never 
been  mined.  Along  the  east  shore  of  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco,  for 
thirty-five  miles  east-southeast,  from  beyond  the  Island  of  Molate, 
towards  San  Josef  and  Santa  Clara,  the  harbour  is  bounded  gener- 
ally by  low  alluvial  soil,  and  only  in  a  few  places  do  low  and  rocky 
cliffs  protrude.  Near  the  Mission  of  San  Josef  there  are  some  hot 
springs  in  the  plain,  surrounded  by  a  verdant  covering.  Earthquakes 
are  rather  common,  and  one  in  1806  so  shook  the  building  of  the 
Mission  of  Santa  Clara,  that  a  new  one  was  obliged  to  be  erected.  A 
few  years  ago,  a  boat  belonging  to  a  whale  ship,  when  lying  in  several 
feet  water,  was  suddenly  thrown  on  the  beach  and  left  dry,  and  a 
vessel  in  the  Bay  of  Monterey  was  suddenly  and  severely  tossed 
about  by  the  sea,  and  the  shock  was  felt  on  the  shore  at  the  same 
time.  At  ten  o'clock  on  the  26th  December,  1827,  a  slight  shock 
was  felt  at  San  Josef.  The  shocks  are  said  to  come  along  the  coast 
from  the  northward,  and  when  they  are  also  felt  at  Monterey  it  is 
some  minutes  later. 

"One  was  perceived  at  the  Presidio  of  San  Francisco  in  the  month 
of  April,  1827.  It  continued  a  short  time,  but  the  shaking  was  so 
slight" that  it  injured  nothing.— C."

from  the  Department  of  California,  in  1845.  In  his  first  letter,  under 
date  of  March  2,  1844,  the  author,  states  that  gold  placers  were  dis- 
covered in  California  last  year,  extending  some  thirty  leagues.  In 
his  second  letter,  under  date  of  September  1,  1844,  the  writer  states  : 
"The  mining  interest  in  California  is  of  great  importance,  and  I  have 
the  satisfaction  of  assuring  your  Excellency  that  it  forms  one  of  the 
most  valuable  resources  of  this  Department.  Besides  the  silver 
mines  which  are  found,  there  are  various  other  mines  which  have 
actually  yielded  metals  ;  the  gold  placer  especially  is  worthy  of  great 
■  attention,  which  extends  nearly  thirty  leagues,  was  discovered  lately, 
together  with  mines  of  mineral  coal."

This  author  states  (Vol.  1,  p.  489)  that  a  vein  of  gold-bearing  quartz 
was  worked  near  the  Mission  of  San  Fernando  by  M.  Baric  in  1843. 

According  to  De  Mofras,  the  gold  of  the  San  Francisquito  Rancho 
was  first  explored  by  M.  Charles  Baric.  He  gives  its  distance  in  the 
mountains  as  six  leagues  to  the  northward  of  the  Mission  of  San 
Fernando,  and  fifteen  leagues  from  Los  Angeles.  He  further  states : 
"This  vein  has  an  extent  of  six  leagues,  following  the  direction  of  the 
ravine  where  it  is  situated.  The  gold  is  foand  near  the  surface  of  the 
soil,  and  some  pieces  weighed  two  or  three  drachms."  This  descrip- 
tion would  lead  one  to  the  opinion  that  the  deposit  was  a  placer  one 
and  not  a  vein,  although  he  uses  the  word  j?/ow. 

According  to  De  Mofras,  silver  ores  occur  about  two  leagues  north- 
west of  Cahuenga  Rancho,  and  were  not  worked  for  want  of  mercury. 
He  further  observes  that  the  Indians  often  bring  in  from  the  moun- 
tains, grains  of  copper,  fragments  of  opal,  and  pieces  of  galena. 
Mines  of  gold  and  silver  are  also  said  to  have  been  found  about 
fourteen  leagues  from  San  Diego.  They  were  once  worked  by  a  man 
from  Guanajuata. 

There  is  a  notice  of  the  bitumen  near  Los  Angeles  on  p.  337,  vol.  2. 
The  author  states:  "Two  leagues  to  the  southeast  of  Los  Angeles 
there  are  four  great  sources  of  asphaltum,  situated  on  a  level  with 
the  earth  in  a  vast  prairie.  These  springs  open  in  the  middle  of 
little  pools  of  cold  water,  while  the  bitumen  possesses  a  higher  tem- 
perature. This  water  has  a  mineral  taste,  which,  however,  does  not 
prevent  animals  from  drinking  it.  At  sunrise  the  orifices  of  these 
springs  are  covered  by  enormous  bubbles  of  asphaltum,  often  being 
more  than  a  yard  high,  and  looking  like  soap  bubbles."

The  author  notes  the  California  gold  field  on  p.  470.  He  remarks  in 
conclusion :  "  1.  That,  looking  to  the  world  at  large,  the  auriferous 
veinstones  in  the  lower  Silurian  rocks  contain  the  greatest  quantity 
of  gold  ;  2.  That  where  certain  igneous  eruptions  penetrated  the  Sec- 
ondary deposits,  the  latter  have  been  rendered  auriferous  for  a  limited 
distance  only  beyond  the  junction  of  the  two  rocks ;  3.  That  the  general 
axiom  before  insisted  upon  remains:  that  all  Secondary  and  Tertiary 
deposits  (except  the  auriferous  detritus  in  the  latter)  not  so  specially 
affected  never  contain  gold."
